General Information

Children
Orange County Convention Center has a safety policy that does not permit children under the age of 16 to be on the exhibit floor during move in or move out. Security personnel will direct parents to remove children from the exhibit hall during move in and move out.

Move In/Move Out Personnel
Please make sure you have adequate people to manage your delivery, set up, tear down and loading during move in and move out. It is not reasonable to think that one person can tear down a booth, be in line to get to the loading dock and provide security at the booth during the break of the show.

Hall Security
The Orange County Convention Center is a government facility and you may be asked for identification anywhere on the grounds. Please be sure that you bring a valid US-issued identification card, passport or driver's license to The Landscape Show to expedite security checks. You will be required to wear a show badge at all times within the convention center.

Food Service
The concessionaire at the Orange County Convention Center has the exclusive contract for all food sold in the halls. To serve food or drinks from your booth, simply contact Centerplate at 407-685-5712 or go to this Link.

Smoking
No smoking will be allowed within the exhibit hall. The designated smoking area is by the loading docks near the back of the hall.

World Business Guide

The World Business Guide is a product of International Directories Group, Ltd. of Madrid, Spain. The company invites businesses to list themselves in its database. The form used to gather contact information says in part, "(Updating is Free of Charge)" in boldface type.

However, embedded in a lengthy paragraph labeled "Order" - in very small type - is a binding three-year agreement that automatically renews every year for another year at a cost of â‚¬ 995 (about $1455 USD). Dating and signing the Data Control form will bind you to the agreement.

The pitch is remarkably similar to the methodology that has been employed by companies like Construct Data/Fairguide and Expoguide Mexico, who have plagued exhibitors and others in the exhibitions and events industry throughout the world.

Sign the World Business Guide Data Control form only if you wish to purchase a database listing that will cost you a minimum of $1455 a year for at least three years.

Show Organizers may wish to share this information with their database of exhibitors.

Exhibitor Alert
The Landscape Show knows that exhibitors have recently received invitations (their form appears to be an online directory listing service for the show, but it is not) from FAIR GUIDE (owned by CONSTRUCT DATA) for listings in its guide at the exhibitors' expense. Please be aware that the FAIR GUIDE and the company CONSTRUCT DATA have no connection with FNGLA or The Landscape Show. You should exercise due diligence and care with respect to any third-party offers so as to avoid possible unwarranted and/or unnecessary financial commitments. Construct Data Publishers has been investigated for misleading business practices related to Fair Guide in several European countries. FNGLA has asked them to cease mailing their forms to our exhibitors; they have decided to continue the mailings. Please contact the FNGLA office if you have any questions about whether a company is an authorized partner of FNGLA or The Landscape Show.Â It has been reported that Construct Data has been using legal threats and may be trying to enforce a contract in the courts. A new discussion list has been developed specifically for those in dispute with Construct Data. It is a discussion list where anyone can post a comment. To join, e-mail stopcd-subscribe@yahoogroups.com. A new Web site located at www.stopecg.org/construct_data_fairguide.htm has been developed as well. At this site you can write detailed letters of complaint.

Similar to the Austrian Construct Data form is a new offer received from Expo Guide from Mexico and European Trade Register. None of these companies are associated with FNGLA or the The Landscape Show. We advise all exhibitors to look closely at any form before signing and obligating your company. See www.stopecg.org/expo-guide.htm as well.
